About the Role:

You’ll be working in my family home and out in the community, helping me with all aspects of daily living, keeping track of medical supplies, and planning activities I enjoy. I would love to go to a music festival and concerts this year. I am an avid guitarist with support from my team. I am a bit of a practical joker with a great sense of humour.
I require 2:1 care 24/7, so you’ll always be working alongside another team member. You might even get to come on holiday with me!
A heads-up: I live with a cat, who lives in the main part of the house.
